THE SENATE.

If the United States Senate were to
be called to meet to-day, it would be
found that there would be no vacancies,
all places being filed. It would be also
seen that there would be thirty-seven
Democrats, thirty-eight Repu blicans,
and one independent or Readjuster,
Riddleberger. of Virginia. While the
membership is full it is probable that
by the time Senate meets. in regular
session, in December, there will be some
changes. Finley, of Florida, who
was appointed by the Governor
TO succeed Jones, whose term ex-
PRED on March Sd, may be sup
erceded in April when the Legis-
lature will meet. 1t is also possible that
the West Virginia Legislature, which
has been called in extra session, will
assume the right to elect a man in place
of Lucas, who was recently appointed
by the governor to succeed Camden.
However, the probable changes indi-
Gated will not change the political COM
plexion of the chamber, which will
stand as above. The States having full
Observation-Disclosures are Alabama,
Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary
land. Mississippi, Missouri, New
Jersey, North Carolina, South Car
DINA, Tennessee, Texas and West
Virginia; the States with TWO Re-
publican Senators each are Colorado,
Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min
nesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hamp
shire, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin;
the following States have divided dele
cations: California, Ohio and Virginia.
1t has been many years since the Re.
publicans did not have majority in the
Senate which enabled them to do as
they pleased, but at last their power has
been broken, and in two years more it
should be overthrown. Colorado ought
to elect q Democrat in 1889, and Virginia
will essuredly do so, so that the Fifty
first Congress will be Democratic in
both branches. If the President shall
also be Democrat, the government
will again be restored in all its depart
ments to the great party of the people.

Colossal Saurians That Once Inhabited

While Europe has produced some
remarkable giants. America leads in
this respect, and in the early days was
peopled by races so astonishing that
all the dragons and fanciful monsters
which the vivid imagin atoms of the
writer's of old have pictured, fail to
compare with the actual reality. In
fact, if it were desired to-day to pro-
duce book of wonders and marvels.
describing the dragons and other ter
rifying creatures, it would be only
necessary for the historian to refer to
the geological discoveries of the last
thirty years, and represent the ami
mails just rs they were. What was the
dragon of st. George to certain huge
PLATFORMS, or the unicorn to the loxo-
lophodon with its many horns? The
roc of the Arabian Nights was not
more wonderful than some of the
fossil birds, and even the great cuttles.
the Poulpes of the grave Bishop Pou-
toppidan, seem almost equaled by
the giant squids of to-day, some
of which are fifty and sixty feet
in length. In short, the Imagination
of man can not picture wonders to COM
pare with the actual creatures which
have lived upon the globe.
In the geological hall of the Museum
of Natural History, Central Park. there
is upon one of the shelves an object
about FIVE feet and half in length,
extremely bulky, and weighing so
many pounds that two men find it all
they desire to carry. 1t is of a brown
hue. and might be taken for the trunk
of fossil tree or part of huge branch.
At its side lies small white bone,
four or five inches long, with label to
the effect that it is the corresponding
bone of living crocodile. In fact, the
great brown mass. as bulky as large
man stretched at full length, is the
thigh OF hip-bone of an American giant,
which in former years roamed the

ATTACKED BY MONKEYS.
A Company OF Men Chased by Pack OF
Enraged Apes.

A Company OF Men Chased by q Pack of
Enraged Apes.
1t must have been comical sight, a
company of men chased by pack of
monkeys. but this is the story as told
by Captain Lawson in his Wander
ings in New Guinea" According to
his account the monkeys were the
aggressors. but one would like to hear
their side of the question before pass
ing judgment
whilst marching under some W al
lah-trees, we were maliciously attacked
by a large troop of monkeys. who
pecked us with the wallah-nus, and
uttered wild screams of delight when
they observed that their sudden as
sault had been successful A regular
volley of the hard missiles fell about
our heads and shoulders with such
force that, being unexpected, we
were smitten with dismay, and scram-
bled out of the way in a very I'M
dignified manner Upon recovering
myself I laughed heartily at the
ridiculous figure we had cut, on which
one Old fellow, who seemed to be the
leader. of the troop, ran out on a
branch that hung over my head. and
deliberately spat at me with all the
gravity of human being, a trick that l
had never knew monkey to perform.
Stepping back a few PAGES to get 4
better aim at him l raised my rifle and
fired. He appeared to be killed Instant
ly, but sat immovable for several Sec
onds before his body lost its balance
and fell. The hubbub that then set in
amongst his companions was fearful.
They howled at the top of their voices.
and seemed to become half mad with
rage. They began again to pelt us
with the nuts. and though we shot
several of their number, they re-
fused to desist, but followed us on
our march, leaping from tree to tree
with great agility.
..At last we were glad to break into
a run in order to escape their persecu-
tions, but this move was unsuccessful,
for the monkeys were quite as MIN BILE
as we were. So we were compelled
to submit to the nuisance for fully
three hours, during which time re-
ceived so many blows upon head,
back and shoulders that / became
quite sore. and my light helmet was
battered into highly disreputable
shape. At length. much to our graft
fication, our foes tired themselves out,
and gave up the pursuit; but while we
remained in sight. they continued to
shake their fists with many grimaces
most expressive of defiance and de-
sire for revenge" - Youths Com
